I made this card with two challenges in mind. One from http://www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/ and the other one for kraftin kimmie. I used a set from Flourishes called Poinsettia & Boxwood. The papers are misc designer papers. Stampin up ribbon and cardstock. Misc flower and snowflake and my nestibilities.
This card is just like my previous tea card that matched the calender. I was looking to see if I had any of the charms left I used for the calender and came across these teapot charms so I decided to go with the plum color. I used stampin ups perfect plum and pale plum. I used a different sentiment also still from the papertrey ink set Tea for Two.
Yesterday was my hubby's birthday so I made him this card. We have frogs in our backyard like 5 feet from the bedroom window that keep us awake most of the spring. You cant believe how unbelieveably loud they are. People say I love to listen to frogs. I used to too but when they are 5 feet from your window and in mating season from the March until the end of May and you dont get sleep you really end up not liking them. Anyway, now I have been buying frog stamps and papers. Go figure. So I saw this at a stamp store and couldnt resist the paper. Its from K&Co and is called Actopus To Zelephant Frogs. The color seems off alittle. The cardstock is a bazzill green and is much brighter in person. My sentiment is a Gina K set. 
This is the other Bernadette card I did for Kraftin Kimmies Blog Challenge, "Get Stitched". I am not good at stitching and realized that the ribbon it double stitched, so thats my stitching. The designer papers are eskimo kisses by Basic Grey. I love these papers. I also used stampin up ribbon and cs purely pomegranate and pink piroutte cardstock. The flowers my friend Alice pointed me in the direction of a great tutorial by Stamped Art by Lisa. They are done with Martha Stewart punches. Mine are a little flatter than hers are but thats ok.I colored her a tiny bit differently than the other pink Bernadette card. I used my copic markers again.
Meet Oliver. Isnt he the cutest? He is a new stamp from Kraftin Kimmies rubber stamps. I think he is just adorable. I colored him with copic markers. Then layered him on red. I put little white dots around the red. I wanted to give it a snowflake effect. The sentiment came with Oliver. The snowflake under the sentiment and beside Oliver are from sizzix. I ran the small snowflake thru my sticker xyron machine to glitter it and then glittered the snowflake under the sentiment with my glue pen and glitter. The ds papers are from bobunny. My cardstock is from stampin up, old olive and real red. This card is for Beate Johns WSC105. 
This is Bernadette. She is from Kraftin Kimmie's Rubber Stamps. Isnt she adorable? I had to go pink with her because she is just too cute. This is for Kraftin Kimmies Blog Challenge, Get Stitched! I went for faux stitching and it didnt turn out very well. You can barely see it around the pink embossed piece. I used Basic Grey papers Eskimo Kisses and stampin up pink piroutte and whisper white. The ribbon is stampin up also. Some satin retired ribbon I think is purely pomegranate. I used my nesties and ran it thru the cuttlebug with the snowflake embossing folder. The snowflakes were made with a martha stewart punch and then I layered them with some little plastic flowers and a pink velevet brad.
This is my calender for June. I didnt meet my deadline yesterday so I only got three calenders done instead of 4 but at least I feel I got a lot accomplished. 
Of course anyone that knows me knows that I looooove pink! Its my absolute fav! So I saw this card done on Pickled Papers and loved it. So I had to use her colors and make it into a calender and card. You can visit her card here http://pickledpaperdesigns.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html. 
This is my card for Kraftin Kimmies blog challenge. KKSC3. Shades of Autumn. I love this line of Basic Grey papers. Indian summer. I also love when we have an Indian summer. These papers are so gorgeous and match almost all of the incolor stampin up colors. I used crushed curry and soft suede cardstock and crushed curry ribbon. I found the little spoon charm I had had forever.
This is another card I did for Taylors Sketch Challenge. You can find her at http://www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/. I love these little monkeys. They are so much fun. I colored it with copic markers and used som misc ribbons and brads. Also used pretty in pink and barely banana stampin up cs. The designer papers are from Doodlebug Designs Sweet Treats and sundae stripes. 
This is Taylored Expressions sketch challenge for this week. TESC88. I used my eskimo kisses papers from basic grey. Plus pretty in pink and baroque burgundy cardstock from stampin up. Also some misc ribbons and snowflakes I had laying around and my nesties. I colored the little mice with my copics. The mice are Mistletoe and Mice from Stampavie's Gillian Roberts collection. I think they are so cute and perfect for the eskimo kisses paper collection.
